Listening to Sen. Ted Cruz answering questions during Monday night’s Voters First Forum in New Hampshire, I was taken with his rhetoric on Obamacare. Here is someone who wants to destroy all aspects of the program when his family has, according to The Washington Post, enrolled in the exchange.

Sen. Cruz is also one of many who have been vociferous about where President Obama was born. But Obama was born in the United States, unlike Sen. Cruz.

Cruz is an opportunist who thinks he is going to sit in the WH.He won’t.He is an extremist and we do not need to ever hear him read Dr.Seuss again.One can see a bit of Joe McCarthy as well.

One can see a LOT of Joe McCarthy… they really do look like father and son(of-a-bitch)

Actually, Rafael (Ted) bears more than a passing resemblance to Hugo Chavez.

Don’t you mean Barry (Obama)?

Cruz is the only true political scientist in the Republican field, and behind Ben Carson probably the smartest. Cruz has also never, ever, in his life provided one good or service for anyone and has virtually no real life experience in..anything. Military. Running a business. Community involvement. International anything. Nope. None. Zilch. The guy is a walking bag of hot air.

He is a dab hand at filling out college applications.

a few facts about Senator Cruz

Harvard Law School earned his law degree in 3 years…and I bet he will let us see his record unlike the current president-his records are sealed…hmm

Argued before the Supreme Court 9 times…not for any joe.

Defender of the Constitution-you call him an extremist for this?!

Support a smaller government & wants to audit the Federal
Reserve…I know checks & balances is a silly idea.

Wants to balance the budget…I know a crazy idea, who does that? what is wrong with spending and print money over and over…right and we thought a money tree was fake.

Derschowitz said he was one of his best students. But intellectual ability and crazy religiousity are bad bedfellows. Ted is very confused.

“If I’m elected president, let me tell you about my first day in office,” Cruz said. “The first thing I plan to do is to rescind every illegal and unconstitutional action taken by Barack Obama.”

“The next thing I intend to do,” he continued, “is instruct the Department of Justice to open and investigation into these videos and prosecute Planned Parenthood for any criminal violations.”

Third, Cruz said he would direct the DOJ and the IRS to put an end to the persecution of religious liberty.

“I then intend to cancel the Iran deal and, finally, move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem,” he added. “I will keep my word…I will fight to defend liberty because my family knows what it’s like to lose it.”

Gawd.

“Cancel” Prosecute. Rescind. End. Repeal. Destroy. Deny. Demolish…My goodness. What sort of nightmare world do you people live in when you want to elect a man who promises to destroy our country in order to save it? What will Cruz build? What will he create? What will his legacy be other than ruin?

My only comfort is that none of you are very bright so you’re pretty much just sputtering and spinning in your own misery and Cruz is bottom tier and staying there.

We are heading down a Progressive nightmare I pray will STOP.
Cruz will uphold the laws and not make them up as he goes along. I would take any GOP that is running right now…our current president has ONLY work as a community organizer and hung out with Terrorist…Bill Ayers.

Obama spends more time practicing his golf game than
anything else.

I could care less about college…and at least Cruz’s father
drove the Constitution into him because he except Cuba instead of running around with several women and hating America. And you can’t tell me sitting in Rev Wrights church and hearing GxxD America didn’t sink in? Why did he continue to attend?

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness…the rest is up to
you not for the government to provide.

Cruz’s father fought WITH Fidel, until he didn’t. He was of no religion, until he found that religion could pay the bills.

You’re not voting for a candidates father, so I’m not sure what that odd fetish is about. Cruz has nothing to stand on because he’s never done anything. I had more under my belt in accomplishments by the time I was 19 than he has in his late 40’s.
And further, you’re STILL harping on Reverend Wright? That was 7 years ago! Look up Bush Jrs. Pastor, a guy named Ted Haggard. What he did with young men and boys while claiming to be a “Family values person” would make anyone sick. A guy who spent nights in the White House! Who spoke to the President weekly. Look him up. I dare you. Look the man up and try not to vomit. And then remember he stayed in the White House with the Bush family!
You people live in a world entirely of your own creations. A howling emptiness devoid of both reason and logic.

Rafael…his real name….has a lot to clear up.

No doubt he has played the system well to get where he has got. But there are questions.
